Scout Picture Frames
By AAKON SMITH
Oettyibitrf Scout Scribe,
The high cost of frames una prevented
many acouta from framlni: Uiclr ccrtlfl
thtes. This may be remedied If. Instead
of buying High-priced frames, the scout
will do a little "scoutlnsr around" ami
find tome picture which mny be bought
Vtry cheaply. Thete pictures, as n rule,
lire, of not much value, but the tramea
ejfln bd utilized, and If n point Is mnue
to Ket pictures Just the site of the cor
tlfkiitos to be framed. ciultn u little of
the expense can be saved. This will also
aid the scout In increasing his bank ac
count to the amount required for the
f)rf.t'Uass test.
The, writer took an assistant scoutmas
ter's certificate to a dealer to not the
price for frnmlnp, and was told that I

was too blp to warrant the framing of
the certificate, he decldbd not to have It
done. Several days later, while on a tour

Removing tho pktute, he put the certlll-

Not only certificates can b framed in j

QUE EN IT'S A LUCKY THING FOR CON,
..
$50 "JITNEY" LICENSE
DESIRED BY OWNERS
Association Wantb City's Aid in
Keeping Service Standard
High More Rules Made.
To satisfy the public that the "Jitney"
Is to be a safo. dependable and perma
nent Improvement of faulty transit fa
cilities of this city, the owners and
operators of the little busses have sug
gested that a license feo of JSO be Im
posed on each car by the city authorities.
The Philadelphia "Jitney" Association has
approved a resolution to this effect, which
will bo Introduced at the next meeting
of City Councils by Seleot Councilman
Hutt, of the 29th Ward,
This action was taken at a meeting ot
the association last night In' O'Connell's
Hall, Droad street and Susquehanna ave
nue. It was decided at tho meeting to
Increase the annual membership dues
from II to 3, nnd a set of regulations
waa made to be carried Into effect, to
gether with those recently promulgated
by the Police Department. The now rules
are:
Alt automobiles engaged In tho
"Jitney" business must bear a sign.
"Jitneys" passing schoolhouses
must not exceed a speed of six miles
an hour.
The "Jitney" Association must
maintain a schedule for the depart
ure of cars from City Hall and from
Diamond street In order to relieve
congestion at these points.
"Jitney" operators must hold to
their schedule of prices and must not
overcharge.
A losl-and-found department has been
established for the recovery of articles
left In the "Jitneys." Already several ar
ticles are awaiting Identification and re
turn Richard Costcllo, nt Broad and
Diamond streets. Is In charge of this cle-
1 partment.
The police Investigation Indicates that
there are .173 "Jitneys" In daily operation
In this city. This does not Include tho
cars that are running during the rush
hours In the morning and evening. The
number of Individual cars at all times Is
perhaps 600.
The "Jitney" Association Is making
every effort to discourage tw'o types ot
operators. They are the driver that
operates as a "free lance" during the
greatest rush of the day, and the
chauffeur that filches nn hour now nnd
again from his employer and operates
his employer's car as a Jitney" 'during
that time.
Richard Costcllo, president of the asso
ciation, had a conference with Superin
tendent of Police Robinson, In which these
grievances were discussed. The super
intendent, according to Costcllo, said ho
favored the aims of the association, and
that If tho association will wntch Its
members the police will control tho Inde
pendent drivers. The superintendent nlso
promised to have the police riispetse the
crowds that gather about the ata-tlnc
places and gnzc at the "Jitneys" with 11
sort of rustic curiosity for long stretches
of time. Costello stated that he has been
asked to be sworn In ns 11 special ofllcer to
assist In enforcing tinHle regulations.
Hunting- Wrecked Car's Owner
Germnntown police arc endeavoring to
locate the owner of nn automobile that

the fenr for her which arose In him;
moreover, Bert represented tho new life
which stretched before him, and he was
not tiultc ready for It. now that the time
had come. He was nn old man, he tcal
ized, and it was a dangerous matter lo
uproot old trees. Ho had lived the best
yea is of his life in this city, had worked
here, and had married here, and had
built up his fortunes here, and here had
occupied n position of some honor and re
spect; nnd, try ns he would, he could not
look with too much confidence upon
achieving the same thins ns, a stranger
In a strange place.
It was all wrong, he told himself, and
he would not even be properly thankful
for the crumb of luck which he had
wrested from tho bygone feast. In his
pocket he had the check which removed
him from the nerve-racking fluctuations
of his street car fortunes; which Insured
Molly nnd Bert and himself an entrance
Into a new life and new opportunities:
which made him safo from Sledge, and
yet, he felt no great exultation.
It wns a relief to him when Molly had
him called to look at her where she
stood at the head of the stairs. In her
bridal gown, a fresh nnd glowing vision
in her pure, shimmering white. The sight
of her gnve him a thrill of hopefulness,
too: the first of the day.
"You're a beauty, Molly," he called up
to her. "I declare, 1 don't see how I
have been lucky enough to keep you with
me so long ns this."
"That's a nice daddy," she gaily as
sured him.
Rert came in from the conservatory for
the glimpse of her which he wns to be
permitted, and naturally he spoiled the
picture bv Btartlng to dart upstairs, an
action which had the result of sending not
onlv Molly and Fern, but the admiring
maids scurrjlng back to tho boudoir, the
door of which sacred apartment they
locked and bolted, and would have barred,
had there been nny means to do so, Bert,
quite properly defeated, fame back down
the stairs and joined Marley.
"A bridegroom doesn't amount to much,
anyhow," he conventionally admitted.
"And a husband to less," supplemented
Marley. "You'll discover by and by, my
boy. that the lords of creation are only
lords by proxy."
"You're trying to scare me." protested
Bert. ... ...
"No, only to encourage you,' Insisted
Marley. "The happiest man In the world
Is one who finds a wife capable of di
recting him nnd generous enough to let
him think he Is doing It all himself.'
"That's a new Idea to me," pondered
Bert, complacent through condescension
only ns he stroked his carefully curled
mustache and reflected upon his own
""The worst of It Is you have to grow
old to realize It." Marley gently Insin
uated. "I was a smart man until my
wife died. "Won't you have a drink?"
"No. thanks," refused Bert, walking
disconsolately to the library. "I prom
ised Molly the minister shouldn't smell
it on my breath."
"Afterward, then," laughed Marley,
and returning into his den. closed the
door Just as the bell of his extension
telephone rang.
"Hello. Marley." hailed the voice of
Willie Walters. "Had your franchises
cnncelled and regranted?"
"Don't need It." replied Marley, reflect
ing Instantly that he was out of the
WE SAY, THAT THE
franchise worry, but curious, neverthe
less. "What do you mean?"
"The Allerton bill waa put through Its
final passago last night," explained Wal-
"Oh, yes, the Allerton bill," smiled
Marley. "I knew all nbout that."
"You don't seem to have got In early
on tho advantages." remarked Walters,
scenting a story. "It's a law now, opera
tive from 'ts passage."
"It won't hurt nnyuody," chuckled
Marley. "Thero wasn't much of Impor
tance in It."
"No'" queried Walters. "Just enough
to make a political corpso of Allerton.
They'll embroider that BO-year-franchlse
clauso on his shroud."
"Franchise clauso? I don't under
stand." "I thought you didn't know the pro
visions of tho bill," went on Walters,
delighted to have unearthed a new angle
to the story. "Tho thing Is so beauti
fully Juggled that It automatically ex
tends all franchises granted within tho
last 10 years, to an extra fifty years of
lifetime, on the same terms as their
original charter."
"Good!" returned Marley. "All my
franchises havo been ronewed within the
last 10 years " ,
"Now I know you've been asleep," re
joiced Walters, not that ho had any en
mity for Marley, hut merely that he liked
a good story. "Tho bill, specifically, does
not apply to renewals, but to original
franchises. Why, yours absolutely ex
pires in threo ytars, if that's the case.
Moreover, tho franchises at the end of
that time belong to Sledge's company."
"Imposslblo!" gasped Marley.
"Get your alarm clock fixed," advised
Walters. "Monday night tho council, in
secret session, granted franchises to
S.ledge'8 company covering every street In
the city. Including now, listen Including
those streets now covered by franchises
when thoso franchises expire!"
For Just a moment Mnrley felt the
strength leaving him. a spasmodic Im
pulse duo to an entirely automatic men
tal Impression that he stll owned tho
old company.
"It's a bald-faced steal!" he hotly
charged. Indignant at Sledge's wholesale
appropriation.
"It's a pippin!" ngreed Walters. "Fact
of tho matter Is, Marley. that, unless
you completed that consolidation with
Sledge, nt the expiration of thtee years
he can make you tear up your rolling
stock and other trash. Did you consoli
date?' "No." laughed Marley, nnd for a mo
ment Wallace professionally hoped ll.it
he had been mentally unbalanced by the
news. "No, Wnlters," Murley chuckled,
when he had succeeded In controllng his
voice, "1 didn't consolidate I sold out!"
' On the level?" queried Walters In
credulously. "To whom? How much?
Did you get the ensh?"
"I gut the cash, but that'B all I'll an
swer," laughed Marley. "I might reveal
somebody's elso'a secrets If I told you
more," and despite the pleading of Wal
ters, he refused to make another state
ment. He turned fiom the telephone, still
chuckling, hut suddenly noticed that his
hand was trembling as If It had been
palsied. His body seemed to have real
ized before his mind the overwhelming
djsnstcr which ho had escaped.
Why, if he had not sold out at the
exact minute he did. his stock today
would be worse than worthless! The en
tire company would not bring more than
tho Junk-heap value of Its worn-out equip
ment. He could not have met the mort
gage on hln house, ho could not have paid
a dollar of his debts, he would have been
left without a penny, und he would have
dragged down Into bankruptcy hundreds
of poor families, like Henry Peters', who
had their all Invested In his enterprise.
True, they were ruined, anyhow, or would
be; but he had n curiously unmoral sense
thut. by stepping out from under before
the crash came, and by being no longer
at the head of the doomed company, he
was passing along the moral responsible .
lty of their downfall to the up-State syn-dlcate-and
to Sledge! Thank God, he
was safe!
